EXCLUSIVE: MTV VMAs Host Russell Brand Takes the Defamer Pop Culture Test. "Amy [Winehouse] has been on several of my television shows in the United Kingdom. She's a very talented and beautiful girl and in my house, to this day, I have a Mexican doll that for a while lived in her hair." Brand also explains exactly what happened with the Christian Bale thing last month: "In England, we have such good manners that if someone says something impolite, the police will get involved. Christian Bale, I believe whilst in a restaurant, rolled his eyes at the lighting. That is an offense punishable by five years in prison in the United Kingdom. I admire Christian Bale and I think he's one of the greatest living actors on the planet currently, but we cannot shirk when it comes to good manners. If it's true that he also dropped a napkin on his way to the lavatory, then I think that he should possibly receive the death penalty."

The juggernaut of Twilight Crazy is slowing down, woe: Growing Up Cullen icons! Fromspectralbovine: Twilight trailer spoof! casirafics reports from one of the Breaking Dawn reading/concerts, lives to tell tale! 'Twilight' Lexicon Blog Hacked By 'Breaking Dawn' Haters! Yes, this is an actual article on the MTV blog. Also: Twilight Could be Six Movies. I'm not sure what math this guy is doing--it's the same "Breaking Dawn could/should be two movies" item everyone else is reporting, except now it's all like, "The series could be six or seven movies!" Okay, look, at least be accurate: it's four books, with one of them in two parts (that she is wanting, not necessarily getting), which makes three plus two, which equals five. Not "six or seven." Unless you'd just like to go around flailing that it could be NINETEEN OR TWENTY MOVIES OH MY GOOOOOOD IT MUST BE STOPPED! Because I might join you on that one.
